TITUSVILLE, Fla. — A pet rat, a piece of twine and some questionable judgment ended with a Brevard County home in flames. David Stanifer and two friends were inside the home on Friars Court in Brevard County when the fire started early Monday morning.
Stanifer and two other people were chasing the rat, named Amelia Earhart, around the house. Stanifer said he didn't have any scissors to cut the twine, so he tried to use a lighter to burn through it. The rat started to run around the garage, starting small fires.
